Item 3 APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MINUTES AND MATTERS ARISING

Item 4: PR18 DRAFT DETERMINATION

4. Before the main business of the meeting began, the chair congratulated the team on a comprehensive and coherent set of papers that he thought would make a difficult set of decisions achievable within the time planned.

5. John Larkinson set out the plan for the meeting and reminded the board of the relevant legal framework, which was noted. The board needed to ensure appropriate weight was given to each duty in making decisions about the periodic review and staff would remind them of any that were particularly relevant as the items were discussed.

The remainder of the PR18 discussion is redacted until after the final determination has been published.

Next steps 47. John Larkin proposed that the ‘overall framework’ document and the executive summary should be combined into one document which contained sufficient detail to ensure clarity for the main audience.

48. John asked the board to be ready to respond promptly to requests for comment over the next period as the details of the draft determination continued to be refined.

Item 5 ANY OTHER BUSINESS

49. There was no other business and the meeting closed at 15:45.
